“You’re making a mistake!” I tell them, seeing around ten council officers standing behind them. They lift and point their guns at me. And I snarl in response, pulling my phone from my pocket.
“You’re not the only one with friends in high places, Axton. Not even Marco will get you out of this one when you have two council members here to witness your breach!” Osiris says behind me. I message Marco, demanding to know what is going on, and a second later, my phone rings in my hand.
“Where are you?” I demand when I answer the call placing the phone to my ear. Khan presses against my skin nervously, his patience running thin the longer we are stuck standing here.
“In the city, at the council, I’ve just heard; I am working on it! Someone sent through a message saying there would be an altercation. They have the city tech hacking your cameras for the street live feed. I’m headed there now.”
Chapter Thirty-Four
“So they’re watching?” I ask.
“Nope, my hacker just locked them out. Do what you need to do while I work out who Osiris’ puppet is.”
“Well, you want to work on the two council court officials standing in front of me? They’re refusing to let me leave! Elena needs me. Get them to stand down.”
“I’m working on it. Elena sent in the appeal earlier tonight, but someone else rejected it before I could get my hands on it. It appears to have come from higher up; I am looking into it.”
“Who?”
“That’s what I’m trying to find out. Someone is pulling on strings within the council. I’ve been temporarily locked out of the database. Once I know who, I will sort it out. Until then, I am working with what I got to cover your damn ass,” Marco tells me, and I grit my teeth, glaring at Osiris over my shoulder.
“And if I breach?”
“They’ll shoot you, but we both know that’s not enough to stop Khan. Let them; get to your mate, and I will handle the consequences.” Marco tells me. I turn my gaze to the officers’ dart guns and growl.
“Are your men on their way to help? Order your pack to get to her if you can’t get through.” Marco says, and I can hear him running through security checks at the council, the buzzers going off, and him yelling orders at the guards to let him through as he identifies himself with his council ID numbers.
“They can try to stop me, but they won’t stop Khan,” I tell him.
“Are you really foolish enough to risk the fines, the immobilization of your pack over a family gathering?” Osiris asks.
“I will handle the damage control and find out who’s in Osiris’s pocket! I can get you off on compassionate grounds. This is a family matter! Do what you gotta do!” Marco tells me, hanging up.
“You and I both know Derrick has not gone to her pack for a fucking friendly chat, Osiris. Call them off, or you can deal with the consequences,” I snarl at him.
“And what consequences would that be?” he asks, sauntering over, and Khan presses forward. “Me!” Khan snarls at him, and Osiris stops.
“Are you challenging me, Alpha?” Osiris laughs.
“No, because you aren’t a fucking challenge. That would imply you actually have the ability to stand against me!” I tell him.
“You think you can take me on?” He looks over his shoulder at his men, and I smirk when I see them back up quickly as my warriors come from all directions, their wolves filling the street.
I glance back at the two council members behind me who are playing witness for Osiris.
“Are you sure you don’t have somewhere else to be?” I ask them, and they glance at each nervously.
“Marco can’t wait to find out who sent you here!” I tell them.
“Osiris said there will be a breach. We are merely observers!” one of them tells me. I cock my head to the side.
“No, you are in my way, stopping me from getting to my mate and sons!” I snarl at them. They glance at each other.
“We are observers,” he repeats.
“Then observe this!” I snarl, handing the reins to Khan, who instantly shifts and turns back to Osiris. He growls, his suit tearing as he shifts, the fabric falling to the ground in tatters.
Khan snaps his jaws and charges at him at the same time my men charge at him, and the street quickly becomes a bloodbath as Khan tears through his men. The streets are coated in blood; Alpha Thomas flees the moment the fight breaks out, and so do his men, leaving Osiris to deal with the backlash like the coward he is.
